The crocodile bank in madras is a trust founded by Romulus Whitaker and some others in 1976. The bank was founded with the intention of protecting the endangered crocodile species in India- the mugger- Crocodylus paluster, the gharial- Gavialis gangeticus, and the saltwater crocodile- Crocodylus porosus.
The venture started with 30 mugger adults and now have more than 2500 of about 15 crocodile species.
